| + | <html>BOSTON -- With David Ortiz in the postseason,<b>[http://keyamassociates.com/Patriots-Jerseys-For-Cheap.html Authentic Patriots Jerseys Sale]</b>, it has never been a matter of if. It's always been a matter of when. | ||
| + | |||
| + | He had played in 14 playoff series over eight years and had at least one hit in all of them. Without a hit in the 2013 American League Championship Series until the eighth inning of Game 2 on Sunday, Ortiz had built up enough pressure. | ||
| + | |||
| + | He was 0-for-6 with four strikeouts in the series and his team desperately needed him. The Red Sox had the bases loaded with two outs. The Tigers, not taking any chances, brought in their closer,<b>[http://keyamassociates.com/Patriots-Jerseys-For-Cheap.html Authentic Patriots Jerseys On Sale]</b>, Joaquin Benoit, who had held Ortiz without an extra-base hit in 27 career plate appearances. | ||

| + | |||
| + | More built up pressure. Ortiz couldn't wait any longer. | ||
| + | |||
| + | The Red Sox had swung at 12 of 65 first pitches in the series and their patience wasn't paying off. On the first pitch Ortiz saw, he took one big cut. | ||
| + | |||
| + | He was looking for something offspeed. He got a changeup. And he hit a line drive over the right-field wall and into the Red Sox bullpen for a grand slam. Boston went on to win,[http://www.wikifx.ru/index.php/%D0%A3%D1%87%D0%B0%D1%81%D1%82%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%BA:Ghakdugr5#Phil_Rogers-_Swing_in_momentum_could_help_Dodgers_in_NLCS Phil Rogers- Swing in momentum could help Dodgers in NLCS</ a>, 6-5, to even the series. | ||

| + | "I tell you what, man, postseason is something that it can work both ways for you," Ortiz said. "It can go well if you stay calm. Or it can go bad if you try to overdo things. | ||
| + | |||
| + | "Like [Saturday] night, pretty much all of us were trying to overdo things. I was trying to produce for the team when the opposition is pitching me very carefully. I was chasing a lot of bad pitches,<b><a href="http://softvent.com/images/Giants-Jerseys-For-Cheap.html" title="Authentic Giants Jerseys Sale">Authentic Giants Jerseys Sale]</b>,<a href="http://www.plastnett.no/wiki/index.php?title=Bruker:Ckvlbvct9#GOP_courts_Hispanics_while_campaigns_ramp_up_immigration_tal" rel="bookmark">GOP courts Hispanics while campaigns ramp up immigration tal</ a>, I feel like I was jumping a little bit. In my first couple of at bats [Sunday], I feel like I was doing some funny things. | ||
| + | |||
| + | "We've had four days off and sometimes it can go against you when you're not facing pitching. And it happens. It happens to all of us. So we pretty much needed the momentum going. And I think winning this game is going to tell a lot." | ||
| + | |||
| + | The Red Sox were just about dead in the water, on the verge of becoming the fourth team to get shut out two consecutive games in the postseason since 2000, and ready to face a 2-0 deficit that has only been overcome five times in 42 attempts.</html> | ||
